Abercrombie&Fitch Expands Logistics Network with New Ohio Distribution Hub
Scheduled for a summer 2026 debut, the American fashion giant will tap into Bleckmann’s new Columbus, Ohio distribution center, marking a key step in its extended phased implementation strategy.
Abercrombie&Fitch expands its infrastructure. The U.S. fashion group has expanded its partnership with Bleckmann, the multinational company specializing in providing logistics solutions to companies in the fashion industry, with a new distribution center located in Columbus, Ohio.
Set to open in summer 2026, Abercrombie&Fitch will make use of the new logistics center as part of its long-term growth strategy in North America.
The new facility is part of a “phased implementation plan to support long-term growth and agility,“ the companies explained in a statement, with the goal of “improving efficiency, reducing lead times and expanding our capacity.“

The company, which has turned its business around in recent years, ended the second quarter with sales of $1.208 billion, an increase of more than 6.6% over the same period last year. For the first six months of the year, the increase in sales was 7%, to $2.305 billion.
